Why we love Paddington Spa at The Chilworth Hotel

There's something about an elegant London hotel that's like discovering a treasured jewel - something lovely, luxurious and that you want to keep all to yourself but you know deserves to be shown to the world. Such is the case with Paddington Spa at The Chilworth Hotel. Here are just five of the reasons we love it...

The central London location

The name is a giveaway as to the Paddington Spa at The Chilworth Hotel's location. Incredibly convenient, particularly for those travelling to London by train, it's just a short walk from Paddington station. That means it's both easy to get to and a wonderful base for exploring London's restaurants, attractions and entertainment.

The historic architecture

A restored, stuccoed townhouse, Paddington Spa at The Chilworth Hotel evokes the feeling that you have stepped into a world of elevated romance and elegance. Dark wood, polished marble and crushed velvet abound in the public areas while rooms are all calm colours, plush fabrics and bathrooms. It's the very best of old and new.

Integrated wellness

Paddington Spa at The Chilworth Hotel has worked to an innovative and beautiful philosophy of integrating wellness into the whole experience. Showers in the rooms feature vitamin-infused waters, there’s a yoga mat and in-room guide to help you meditate, instead of a gym, the hotel makes use of the surrounding parkland for fitness, offering guided runs and running maps and rooms are equipped with nutritious nibbles, organic coffee infused with vitamins and Pukka teas. Guests are encouraged to order 'Moon Milk' before bed and to use the ‘Beditation’ guide to help you switch off.

The luxury spa experiences

Alongside all those inbuilt wellness features, there's a luxury spa dedicated to pampering and treatments. The sanctuary includes a Jacuzzi and steam room, while treatments are tailored to help meet your health and lifestyle goals. When you leave the spa area, you're given a Mind, Body & City goodie bag to continue the feel-good-factor, including a sleep kit complete with slumber-inducing essentials like aromatherapy mist, a sleep mask and ear plugs.

West End dining

Food and drink at The Chilworth Hotel is a joyful experience, whether you want to savour a coffee over the morning papers or dress up for a three course dinner. Hankies is their restaurant, where they serve a combination of tapas meets traditional Delhi street food throughout the day. They also do a superb afternoon tea, and the bar is the place for drinks, whether it's a cup of tea or a nightcap.
